Twenty-First+Caluri++2

=__//Amendment// 21__= By Bobby and Matt



The [|twenty-first amendment]'s purpose was to repeal the 18th amendment which banned the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages in the United States. The twenty-first amendment was ratified and in effect on December 5, 1933. At the time the amendment was passed there was alot of organized crime and violence going on at the time. Illegal bars were running out of pool halls. Illegal drinking was publicized quite dramaticly in the movie of the day. There are still problems today. People are getting drunk are doing many bad things. Some are getting into car accidents, and killing people for no reason. This is all happening because of consuming alcohol. People also commit crimes drinking alcoholic beverages. The reason this amendment was passed was to stop organized crime. It is also to tell people that they will have to make their own choice if they want to drink or not. The government will not make this decision.The way this amendment still applies to today is alcohol is still legal today. Plenty of people still buy and consume alcohol today. Thirty eight states ratified the constitution. Section 1. The Eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed. Section 2. The transportation or importation into any State, Territory, or Possession of the United States for delivery or use therein of intoxicating liquors, in violation of the laws thereof, is hereby prohibited. Section 3. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by conventions in the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress.

__**Current events:**__

[|**Matt's current event**]__**:**__ This current event is about overturing the shipping of wines into states of America. But as the 21st amendment came into place they repealed the 18th amendment so mines and alcohal was permitted in the states of Ameria. My opinon on the article is that people should make their own choices. So it doesnt matter what state you are in as long as you make your own choice.

[|Bobby's Current Event]

The Supreme Court recently agreed to review direct shipment laws, which prohibit wine sellers from shipping directly to customers in other states. These laws violate the Constitution by discriminating against interstate commerce. The twenty first amendment gave the power to regulate sale of alcohol. Many states require wineries and other producers to sell to wholesalers, which in turn sell to retailers. my opinion on this article is that the people are changing the amendment. They should let people sell who they need to


 * __Big Question: The big question was how the 21st amendment still is used today. The 21 amendment repeales the 18th amendment which you can ship and sell alcohal in the united states. Today still people ship and counsum alcohal in the untied states. but still crimes happen in which of the alcohal.__**
